Those seats turned out nice. Sorry to hear about the engine. I know you don't want much of a lift, but if you a considering a lift at all I would suggest stock 1 ton 3 leaf springs. Heres the catch though, your stock springs are shorter than the square body springs. What you would have to do is probably keep your current leafs and add the lower 1 ton leaf to your existing pack. I am pretty sure the top 2 leafs have a military wrap ( I can check tomorrow, I have them on my 76 3/4 ton). This will give you about a 1-2 inch lift depending on the condition of your current stock springs.
